Enterprise

The University of Michigan Office of Research (UMOR) has central responsibility for nurturing excellence in research, scholarship and creative activity across the entire campus. Limited Submission and other funding competitions are managed by the Office of Vice President for Research (OVPR).

UMOR is home to a variety of diverse interdisciplinary research units that span topics ranging from human development to energy to mobility transformation, and research units like the Business Engagement Center (BEC) and TechTransfer.

ORSP manages pre-award and some post-award research activity for U-M. We review contracts for sponsored projects applying regulatory, statutory and organizational knowledge to balance the university's mission, the sponsor's objectives, and the investigator's intellectual pursuits.

Ethics and compliance in research covers a broad range of activity from general guidelines about conducting research responsibly to specific regulations governing a type of research (e.g., human subjects research, export controls, conflict of interest).

Sponsored Programs manages the post-award financial activities of U-M's research enterprise and other sponsored activities to ensure compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws as well as sponsor regulations. The Office of Contract Administration (OCA) is also part of the Office of Finance - Sponsored Programs.

Certain proposals (for DOD, DOE, EPA) require an Environmental Questionnaire to complete the grant application package. This multi-page form can only be completed by Environmental, Health, & Safety (EHS, formerly OSEH) and this complex questionnaire takes considerable effort in fact-gathering and verification. Thus EHS requires at least FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS before the completed proposal needs to be at ORSP.
